Did you ever try to see who all those settlers who built America were? There is only a handful of names remained. Thousands and thousands are unknown. Do you think those thousands found happiness? They only fought to survive.
Before getting the town of 80,000 to a living status, thousands and thousands will fight to survive and will die immaturely. Of course, this brings happiness to those who helped to settle 80000 on Mars. They will enjoy on Earth.
- arscan 14y agoI assume the settlers you are referring to are those that came from Europe. America had been settled for a very, very long time before those people came along. Anyhow... I know some people that trace their lineage back to the Pilgrims. They are a pretty proud bunch. Just because you are fighting for survival doesn't mean you can't be happy doing it. I think that attempting to relate this to previous colonization efforts on this planet is flawed. The motivation of the "colonists" would be completely different.
- drd 14y agoYou are right, the motivations are different.
- jlgreco 14y agoI don't really understand what you are trying to get at. Are you saying that nobody would want to go? Or that anyone who does want to go is being irrational? The first seems obviously false, and the second seems completely irrelevant. The fact is there are people who would go, it doesn't really matter to them if you understand their motivation.
- drd 14y agoIt is just amazing what people are willing to do.
